Good morning! Yeah, I have both - but there's a very, very funny story with it. About a month ago, on these very forums, a few of us - Twestern, KN, Goosegaws and myself were talking about the HD format wars. At the time, Best Buy was offering the Heroes boxset with the Xbox add-on ... plus the 5-HD DVD offer, the King Kong pack-in HD DVD AND 2 free HD DVDs in-store. All for $179. Twestern got it, so I was like 'Lemme try ...'
Then, a couple weeks later - maybe a week, Wal-Mart was going to sell the HD A2 for $99, but Best Buy countered and offered it a day earlier. And they still had the free HD DVD special in place, so I was like 'Dang ... it's just $100' and bought an open-box special. While I did get the two free HD DVDs, I didn't get the free mail-ins because it didn't have a box. I may still try to see if I could land it.
As far as the games, some of them I have bought, but in the past 4-5 months, I have been reviewing games for my newspaper. Now, I am doing my own blog, dukecitygamerz.com, and trying to get traction behind that. I started getting a few, then landing bigger ones. I have bought like 20 of the 360 games. The rest are from reviews I did. Trust me, journalists are starving artists!!!!
The crazy thing is ... whenever a game is sent out from a PR firm/dev/publisher, it counts as a sale.
